I need to know what is 190% of 40?

MrRissso [65]

40/x=100/190 40/x=100/190
(40/x)*x=(100/190)*x
40=0.526315789474*x
(0.56315789474) to get x
40/0.536315789474=x
76=x
x=76 now we have 190% of 76

Jay on started off his penny collection with 1 penny. He then adds 5 pennies to his collection each day. How could you change th

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

By doubling each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay is increasing daily a fixed amount of pennies to his collection. That's an arithmetic series, because to obtain the next term you have to do an addition.

To get a geometric series or progression you have to find the next term through multiplication.

So, if he wants to convert his series into a geometric series, he'd have to double his contribution to his collection each day (as an example).

A six-foot-tall person is standing next to a flagpole. The person is casting a shadow 1 1/2 feet in length, while the flagpole i

Answer: 20 ft

This problem can be solved by the Thales’s theorem, which states:

Two triangles are similar when they have equal angles and proportional sides

It should be noted that to apply Thales' Theorem, it is necessary to establish the two triangles are similar, that is, that they have the corresponding angles equal or that their sides are proportional to each other.

Now, if we measure the shadow of the flagpole and the shadow of the person, at the same moment, we can use the first Thales' Theorem to calculate the height of the flagpole, knowing the height of the person.

In this case we have two similar triangles (Figure attached) where $H$ is the height of the flagpole, $h=6 ft$ is the height of the person, $A=5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the flagpole and $a=1\frac{1}{2}=1.5 ft$ is the length of the shadow of the person.
